Blackjack is a game that reminds me of a roller coaster. It is a game that starts slowly, but gradually picks up speed. As you slowly build up your bank roll, you feel as though you are making moves to the top of the coaster and then when you aren’t expecting it, the bottom drops out.

black jack is so remarkably like a wild ride the similarities are unreal. As with the popular fair ground experience, your black jack game will peak and things will appear to be going great for a while before it bottoms out once again. You must be a gambler who can readjust to the ups … downs of the game mainly because the game of black jack is choked full with them.

If you like the tiny coaster, a coaster that doesn’t go too high or fast, then bet small. If you find the only way that you can enjoy the roller coaster ride is with a fatter wager, then jump on for the crazy ride of your life on the monster coaster. The high-roller will love the view from the monster crazy ride because he or she is not mentally processing the drop as they rush headlong to the top of the game.

A win goal and a loss limit works well in black jack, but very few gamblers adhere to it. In blackjack, if you "get on the rollercoaster" as it is going up, that’s terrific, but when the cards "go south" and the coaster starts to toss and turn, you had better get out in a hurry.

If you do not, you will not always remember how much you enjoyed the good life while your profit was "up". The only thing you will remember is a lot of uncertainties, a crazy fun ride … your head in the clouds. As you are reminiscing on "what ifs", you won’t remember how "high up" you went but you will naturally remember that disappointing drop as clear as day.
